Avatar in sim or not?

Hello,

if I know an agent's key, is there any function that can tell me whether he is in the sim or not?

I considered llKey2Name which would otherwise return an empty string, but apparently it will return a name even if the agent can see the sim from an adjacent sim, so that is no good.

llGetAgentSize()

Hi,


how about using vector llGetAgentSize( key id );
this function returns a ZERO_VECTOR if agent is not in the same region (SIM).
At least that is what the WIKI states! And I know some scipts use it to check if the owner is in the same region. See also example in the WIKI



Regards,
Shyan

We now have llGetObjectDetails() too. If an avatar is out of range, it returns an empty list. The range can extend beyond the current sim, but then the position should indicate a value outside the bounds of the sim, right? I propose:

CODE

integer isAvatarInSim(key avatar)
{
   list details = llGetObjectDetails(avatar [ OBJECT_POS ]);
   if (llGetListLength(details) < 1
   {
      return FALSE;
   }

   vector pos = llList2Vector(details, 0);
   return (pos.x >= 0.0 && pos.x <= 256.0 &&
           pos.y >= 0.0 && pos.y <= 256.0 &&
           pos.z >= 0.0 && pos.z <= 256.0);
}

CODE
key agent_key = "key-of-avatar-you-are-interested-in";

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if (llGetAgentInfo(agent_key))
        {
            llSay(0,(string)agent_key + " is in the sim.");
        }
        else
        {
            llSay(0,(string)agent_key + " is absent.");
        }
    }
}
